U.S. President Joe Biden will visit Germany from October 10-13 and Angola from October 13-15, marking his first visit to Africa as president. In Germany, Biden will meet with German leaders to discuss shared priorities, express appreciation for Germany's support of Ukraine, and strengthen bilateral ties. In Angola, Biden will meet with President João Lourenço to discuss economic partnerships and the development of Africa's first transcontinental open-access rail network. This trip fulfills Biden's long-standing promise to visit Africa and underscores the U.S. commitment to African partnerships. The visit also follows Biden's recent decision to exit the presidential race and endorse Vice President Kamala Harris.
